You are not the only one who is confused. So am I. That is why I asked.
Trough a Google ad link on this forum I stumble on urbanfonts.com. Never heard of, so I go there to have a sniff and see they have a forum. First impression, must be brand new because there are hardly any threads. Then I see that all threads started after May 20, 2006 but some have already more that 35 posts. Not bad for a brand new forum. Curious as I am I also open my other eye and see that these 35 posts all have the same date and are posted within 8 hours. I get more curious and start digging.
What do I find? An excerpt of the former Abstractfonts forum. Messed up a bit and fancy user names but exactly the same posts. I find Liana (l-goldenquill). I find Třrnquist (nicknamed by me as the Viking and occasionally as Tweetybird). I find whole discussions between the three of us. Yet posts by the same person under different names.
So, I wonder; what is this?? So I ask: Alex, what is this urbanfonts forum thing?
The Alex in this question is Alex the webmaster of Abstractfonts.com. Is Alex who buried the old forum. Is Alex Chum.., Mississauga.
So, Alex, I ask again, why is there a forum on urbanfonts.com that is a messed-up copy of a part of this (Abstractfonts) forum?
Compare these:
http://www.abstractfonts.com/forum/thread/30995/7091#post7091
and
http://www.urbanfonts.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3 (ignore the first two posts in this thread). and jump to http://www.urbanfonts.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3&page=2
At the urbanfonts forum
'barrelt' aka 'byson' is hitesh.mehta.
'bullish' [how appropriate] aka 'chris' aka 'dodo' aka 'fox' is me, koeiekat.
'devon' aka 'falcon' aka 'ivan' is l_goldenquill [liana].
'gilman' is Třrnquist [the 'ř' never showed on Abstractfonts, remember the discussion about that?].

not exactly the same (compare the n for example) but have a look at the copy series at www.miniml.com

Your lost KarinaBlack is the Eurotype clone of the Korinna Heavy.
Edit:
Not entirely fair to call it is clone because I think Eurotype added the cyrillic characters. Let's say 'a copy of'
Edit 2:
Oh yes, from your sample we can see it is the Eurotype copy you used because of the bad kerning for 'Po'. With the Korinna you will not have that problem.
Edit 3:
And yes, it lives out there under many names.

I'd very much like a copy of Herman font as mine has somehow dropped out of my PC. Can anyone email me a copy?
Thanks
Bill (aka Pibudgie)

Thankfully, there's some sample project in the MSDN Library, which uses GetGlyphOutline() with GGO_NATIVE. According to it's licence, I'm free to copy and paste anything anywhere! :D So I'll just have to copy some functions from that one into mine! That makes my job a lot easier. Not the kind of thing that I would have liked to do, but I've no other option now! Anyway, I'll try the changes you have suggested. There's a small mistake in your code - BYTE buffer[buffsize]; I'll have to use dynamic memory allocation, as bufsize isn't constant. :)
Thanks!

do you get the error when you copy it to the fonts folder? or when you try to open the ttf font file with Photoshop?
In the second case, you'll definitely get an error, no matter what you try!
In first case, if you get the error, then maybe it means that TTF fonts are not supported by Mac. But I am not sure about this, I don't have a Mac! :(
Another thing could be that the font file is corrupted, but I am pretty much sure that this isn't the case.
In one of these posts, you've said why you should create any text in Photoshop! So where does Photoshop come into the picture?
So, where do you get the error? If you copy it to the fonts folder, you may not get any message even if the font has been successfully installed, atleast not in Windows.

Thak you. But too much honour. On second thought there is a catch!! This quick and dirty way may over-write your formulas. Can be overcome though with the same trick.
Per column celect the cells with text > copy
In Word > Paste.
Apply format > change case. Copy.
In Excel goto top cell of those copied > paste.
So savest way is to only apply this cheap trick on tezt cells.

Fine, Alex - but since it is a 'find' anyway why not remane it. May I suggest copy.ttp or counterfeit.ttf?
